Intraplate tectonic stress fields are complex due to the imprint of a long geological history. Here we use new data set earthquake focal mechanism solutions and relocated events investigate relationship between regional stress, crustal strength, seismicity in Charlevoix Seismic Zone (CSZ), most active seismic zone eastern Canada. Our inversion shows that SHmax gradually rotates clockwise from a...

Cryo-milling was used to make calcia stabilized zirconia (CSZ) powders with 9 mol%, 12 and 15 mol% of calcia. Powder X-ray diffraction done examine the phase growth in prepared over course 80h mechanical alloying (MA) cryogenic environment at 300rpm. The calcined were hydraulically pressed into cylindrical shaped sensor elements a uniaxial press then sintered for 4h 1400°C. microstructure pelle...

Abstract A series of supported Ni-Mo catalysts were synthesised through a deposition-co-precipitation method (DcP) and investigated in combined steam dry reforming. The prepared by Yttria-Stabilised Zirconia (YSZ), Gadolinium-Doped Ceria (GDC) Stabilised (CSZ) with improved carbon tolerance have the potential to be used as anodes Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC). These will applied anode supportin...

The authors investigated whether difficulties with temporal event coding, previously reported in patients with schizophrenia, are already present during first-episode psychosis (FEP). In this experiment, the subjective judgments of the simultaneity of visually presented stimuli were compared between 11 healthy controls, 9 patients with chronic schizophrenia (CSZ), and a sample of 11 FEP patient...

INTRODUCTION We use new geological and hydrodynamic models to simulate the sea floor deformation and tsunami runup and inundation in Cannon Beach, Oregon (Fig. 1) produced by Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) earthquakes. We then compare the simulated inundation with inland extent of buried sand sheets inferred to be of tsunami origin. The CSZ exhibits similarities to other subduction zones around...

In the present work, we tested the hypothesis that target-derived insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) prevents alterations in neuromuscular innervation in aging mammals. To explore this hypothesis, we studied senescent wild-type mice as a model of deficient IGF-1 secretion and signaling and S1S2 transgenic mice as a tool to investigate the role of sustained overexpression of IGF-1 in striated ...

A significant amount of stress in the Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) is released by different forms slow earthquakes including tremors, low-frequency earthquakes, and very (VLFEs)—all occurring onshore at deeper part transition zone. Their activity offshore, however, remains elusive. We discover widespread occurrence discrete VLFEs offshore using ocean-bottom seismometers. Barring occasional re...

Canada’s 2020 national seismic hazard model (CSHM 2020) provides estimates for interface Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) earthquakes in southwestern Canada using four ground motion models (GMMs) with equal weights. Two out of the GMMs were derived data primarily from subduction Japan so their use CSHM includes a “Japan-to-Cascadia” factor to account local site conditions. Despite this regional f...
